This is different for me from any others I've experienced. I'm lost in the physical sensations but emotionally detached from it.
Like a guy.
And then...
Let's make it a contest to see which one of us can kiss the most boys before the end of spring break.
I should have just...

It's been a while since I gave 5 stars. For a while I think I was just giving em out cuz I liked the book a lot, but didn't really love it, so I decided unless I absolutely loved the book I wouldn't give 5 stars. This is the first time in quite a while. This book was sooooo goood! I la...

3.5 stars!
Liked a lot, didn?t absolutely love. It definitely had a lot going for it, but adversely, it had some things I could have lived without. I read it all in one go, so it certainly was entertaining to hold my attention for one afternoon.
I was absolutely a fan of the wh...

I was looking forward to this fun story, but I felt disappointed.
But for the many important themes carefully approached, I think it was still worth it.
Zae has been facing problems in all aspects of her life, her parents constantly fighting, her boyfriend cheating, even the chee...

Mlpmom (Book Reviewer)May 02, 2018

So freaking unbelievably good. Review to come closer to release date.
**EDITED TO ADD REVIEW*
4.5 Stars!
The Kiss Collector is so much more than your average YA contemporary. So much more.
It is emotional and honest and a bit raw. It has diversity and real life problems but mos...

Two things:
1.Just an FYI to anyone who received an arc. The author posted this note: *Update* If you're reading an ARC of KC, we are aware of the "extra-s" copy editing glitch before every ellipses. So sorry!! It will be fixed before the final book publishes.
I wish that I had kno...

I haven?t read a book by Wendy in years, so I was really excited when I saw this one. I had to read it immediately.
While it was sweet and fun, it wasn?t as good as Wendy?s other books. I took me a long time to get into the story and start enjoying the book. The romance was s...

KristiaDec 18, 2018

A very entertaining read! Another book well done by Wendy Higgins! The Kiss Collector is a light-hearted, and self-realizing story that takes a few kisses to get to. You'll not want to *MUAH* kiss these character bye-bye by the end, you'll just want to hold on tight and never let go! ...

Review to come! ...

Debra ElsnerJan 22, 2019

Kiss Collector was a cute book; a perfect read right after a "heavy" book. Zae just broke up with her boyfriend and is having family difficulties at home. This affects her deeply and not trusting the men of the species, decides to have a kissing game with her friends; who can kiss the ...

A new book by Wendy Higgins?!!!1?!???!?!!!?
And I like the sound of that title ;))))
Edit 19/5/17: So it seems we have a blurb and this will be a contemporary romance. My body is ready. ...

Lucy (That Book Gal)Dec 22, 2018

This review was originally posted on That Book Gal.
This book and I started out on rocky ground. I?m so glad I?d read a Wendy Higgins before and also that this was a review copy. I stuck it out because I trusted Wendy, but also because I knew I had to review this. The concept of...

StaceeNov 27, 2018

DNF at 18%
I?m not entirely sure why I requested this one, because when I read the synopsis before starting it, it didn?t sound like something I would read. However, it had a lot of high reviews, so I was hopeful.
Zae has a lot of potential. I love the idea that she?s going...

Oh my darn silly heart warming at all the happiness at the end of this book. This is exactly what I needed to get out of my reading slump. ...

Finally, a stay up past my bedtime book. ...

BAM.
My very first full length contemporary romance novel! It made me cry much more than I anticipated. Lots of the issues were close to my heart--things I dealt with as a teen.
I hope you love Zae and enjoy her journey from young adult to adult as much as I did. Smooches!!
*Upda...

CristinaDec 24, 2018

For 80% of the book, I thought this book was a 3 stars worth book. For the last 20% it was a 5 stars worth book. Making a balance, I think this book deserves 3.5 stars-4 stars. Can?t decide. ?

3.5/5
I love Wendy's books, and I literally just read this straight through!
While this novel is filled to the brim with drama, most of the drama did not emerge between Zae?s friends but more from interacting with different guys. But, relationship drama is not the only importan...

I received an eARC of this through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Dudes can be the absolute worst. Zae?s boyfriend cheats on her and her parents are getting divorced because of her own father?s cheating ways. She is done being used by the male population, so she ha...

??Enough! No more relationships. Men are incapable of being faithful and I shall not let my heart be destroyed by them once more!??
Is what Zae is thinking as she is planning a kiss competition with her best girlfriends to see who can collect the most kisses. Except, not in ...

I received an e-ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Xanderia Monroe. But she goes by Zae. She lives her high school life full of drama, teenage crushes and lots of heartbreak. There is way too much fun and emotion to go around here and it was surprising for me to re...

Samantha (WLABB)Nov 17, 2018

After finding her boyfriend with another girl and finding out her dad left the family for another woman, Zae's faith in love was pretty weak. Her revenge on the institution was to kiss and walk away from as many boys as possible during spring break. To make it even more fun, she challe...

I was pretty intrigued by the premise of this novel, because it sounded super interesting and like it was going to be a very fun and entertaining story, and I had pretty high expectations because I enjoyed the other book I read by this ...

Candace RobinsonMay 07, 2018

I?m super picky when it comes to contemporary, but I loved this one! Zae was relatable in her struggles. It took me back to high school...loving your friends, sometimes being jealous of them. But no matter what, you had each others? backs. Also the book had boys, a lot of boys! Esp...
